XP SP2 w/o internet connection

[xSnowblindx]

The only SP2 download I found on windows.com is Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers. I'm just wondering if this is identical to the SP2 downloadable on Windows Update, and if it's alright to use this to update my newly reformated computer (not on internet yet) to SP2.

Thanks!

It's the exact same thing, only everything is included so all you need to due is burn it to a disc and go around to all the computers and install it. (Even w/o an internet connection).

Alright- thanks. I just added the w/o internet connection part to clarify that I can't download it from Windows Update... Anyways: Thanks!

It was ment for "IT Professionals and Developers" but I like using to install it to my computers. It saves time I think. I bured it to a disc a long time ago so when ever I reinstall Windows I just pop the cd in and copy file to hard drive and then run it.

You guys can SLIPSTREAM the SP2 onto a WinXP install CD-ROM and make it where you can install WinXP w/SP2 all in one blow.

Heck, just installing WinXP (without any SP) will get you some sort of malware within seconds of installing the OS if the computer is already hooked to the internet.

Google search "Slipsteam SP2" if you need info on how to do this.
